Hello everyone. Just a few things to let you all know about before the day.

Please screenshot your QR code prior to coming in to the event. This avoids any possible 4G issues as there’ll be a lot of folk around at the time and may cause network providers problems.

𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧 (𝟭𝟮:𝟬𝟬-𝟭𝟲:𝟯𝟬)

At the day event, we will have 2 separate queues. One will be for early bird holders and the other will be for day/night holders.

Once you are in, you will get given your 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬. When the initial influx of festival goers have been scanned in, the comperes will announce the evening ticket desk is open and evening wrist bands can be issued through out the day to help ease busy queues in the evening. Once this is open, 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 and all rush there at the same time as you’ll have a good few hours to collect it before the day event finishes up.

At the evening event, we will again have 2 queues. One will be for folk who already have their wristbands after collecting at the day event, the other will be for folk who hold evening tickets only.
